Two Championships Sparkle Cage Season The 1964-65 basketball season was made one of the best in Schuyler's history by a solid, well-balanced team. The opening game with Albion gave hints of the season to come as the Warriors broke the old school scoring record of 83 points by thumping Albion 85-54. Coach Cene Torczon introduced platoon bas- ketball that night against Albion, allowing the starters rest in every quarter. This depth proved one of the greatest assets to the team. As the season progressed the Cagers won the David City Holiday Tournament and earned a number two Class B rating behind the Ralston Rams. The night before the Ralston game, the Warriors smashed the school scoring record with 105 points to a North Bend score of 70. The following night Ralston snapped Schuyler's l0-0 record. Coach Torczon tabb- ed Ralston as the toughest team we faced. Schuyler bounced back at Crete with what the coach stated was, the best Schuyler game of the year, via a 98-50 Victory. Fifteen and two, the Warriors entered the district tournament which promised some of the best basketball in the state as three of the top four Class B teams clashed. After winning the opening round against St. Bonaventure's, the roundballers smacked a Wayne team that had beaten Ralston and had been rated number one, 78 to 56. State Tournament hopes ended asnumber two rated Madison, which had also beaten Wayne during the season, stopped the Warriors 7 2 - 6 0 in the final game. The season was highlighted by Schuyler's fi r st Central Ten Championship as the Warriors finished 9-0 in the Conference. The team broke the old school scoring record seven times and tied it twice. Coach -Torczon stated, The rebounding was the best since l've been here. The spirit of the boys was exceptionalg the team im- proved considerably. Three cagers were named to the All C on f e r e n c e team: Steve Peterson, Dave Johnk, and Roger Davis. Davis was also named All State Honorable Mention. The team finished the season with three trophies, a l7-3 record, and were rated fourth in Class B. ' Head Coach Gene Torczon and Assistant Coach Dennis Nelson
